Any suggestions on removing 20 year old superglue from white metal? I've unearthed a poorly assembled kit from my youth which I would like to reassemble by soldering. Though most of the parts are already dismantled, there's copious superglue which will have to come off before any rebuilding is started. All advice gratefully received, Cheers, Bill.
Thanks to you both - I've used acetone for paint removal in the past, I had no idea it would attack superglue! My wife's an industrial chemist so I won't be allowed to cause explosions in the house or gas myself in any case....... Cheers, Bill.

Or acteone, if you want the same stuff in a cheaper bottle.
NB the precautions - the stuff is toxic and ther fumes explosive in rather low concentrations.

Thanks Wolf. For the life of me I couldn't recall "acetone" when I suggested nail polish remover. :-)
